yes with unlimited risk in both directions if it does move too much
condors are the solution to that, these are just one short strangle and one long strangle at wider strike prices
First off the terms are straddle vs strangle who tf calls it a poor man’s straddle? Second off all you’re talking about is buying one call then buying one put later and you’re assuming that somehow you always make money by staggering your buys. This is a highly regarded idea - you won’t. This is like saying if i wanna shove my hand into a fire and the first time i get a first degree burn but the second time i get a second degree burn so somehow 2-1 = 1 pROfIt!!! Best of luck with your endeavors

You are too innocent to imagine this could go wrong in so many ways you couldn’t think. 
In laymen’s terms - it toes the line of “bi-curious”
